Lewis Carroll’s 1865 novel is one of the most famous stories in English literature. But what is it, exactly, about this book that holds such enduring cultural appeal? Join us for a winding romp through Alice’s absurd dreamland. We explore the book’s relationship to humor, music, counterculture, and film. We also discuss the real-life Alice who inspired the book, as well as the continuing debate about Carroll’s personal life and his unusual relationships with children.

Content warning: This episode discusses Carroll’s relationships with children, including his suspected pedophilia.
